India's Hindalco Industries, part of the Aditya Birla Group, owns Novelis.Nothing can foil Novelis, because it has the art of rolling aluminum in the can ... the aluminum can, that is.

The rolled aluminum is made with alloy mixtures in a range of hardnesses, thicknesses, and widths, with various coatings and finishes designed specifically for its end-use segments. The company also recycles more than 35 billion beverage cans annually.

OVACO cuts billets according to customer specifications; it can produce billets ranging in length from 18 inches to 216 inches. The company was founded in 1955.

It also produces aluminum products through Rio Tinto Alcan. The company sells globally, but the majority of its operations are located in Australia and North America.
